Music of the South...

That's way south to you. We saw Los Llaneros at the Dia de Los Muertos Festival and they played the music of Columbia and Argentina. Members were from those countries as well as Panama. 

A little research shows that last May President Trump lifted a ban on the importation of Argentine lemons. This puts USA growers at the mercy of competition from a foreign industry that dwarfs the size of domestic farming. Those that thought we were going to make America great again alerted right away that it was not supposed to be this way. There was nothing sour about this music though and I hope to hear more like it with the advent of increased immigration.    

The harp was a nice melody instrument. I have some Colombian music on CD but it's more Afro Cuba cumbia influenced while I guess you could say there was a more classical European tinge to these sounds. The web site for the band calls it "cowboy music" of the grasslands.
